One Song: Two Words

By Hui Zhi

A few friends have requested for the track of the special item sung during our wedding and so I thought I can put this online to share with all. Thanks to Priscilla for such a wonderful rendition of the song Two Words.

Here's some background on the song... 
This song was an early wedding present for Lea from two of her
songwriter friends from Manila, Louie Ocampo and Freddie Santos. It
was specifically written with her and her wedding day in mind. Every
time she would sing the song either in rehearsal or in performance,
she would start crying, as it perfectly captured her every emotion at
this point in her life.
 
Because it's not a published song, the only recording of it is
in her wedding video, here's the link...

Enjoy! =)


TWO WORDS ~ Lea Salonga (L. OCAMPO / F. SANTOS)
Arrangement: Gerard Salonga
Piano: Rey Cristobal
Violin: Benjie Bautista
Cello: Ed Pasamba


In a while, in a word,
Every moment now returns.
For a while, seen or heard,
How each memory softly burns.
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows,
I thank God for yesterdays,
How they led me to this very hour,
How they led me to this place...

Every touch, every smile,
You have given me in care.
Keep in heart, always I'll,
Now be treasuring everywhere.
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness,
Always with gladness...
'I DO...'

(instrumental)

Now a song that speaks of now and ever,
Beckons me to someone new,
Unexpected, unexplored, unseen,
Filled with promise coming through.

In a while, in a word,
You and I forever change,
Love so clear, never blurred,
Has me feeling wondrous, strange,
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I face each moment true?
No trace of sadness, always with gladness,
'I DO...'

Never with sadness...
Always with gladness...
'I...DO....'
